The pharmacokinetics of nifurtimox in chronic renal failure
The pharmacokinetics of nifurtimox, a drug used in the treatment of Trypanosoma cruzi infections, has been studied in seven patients with chronic renal failure undergoing haemodialysis, and in seven healthy subjects. Each subject took nifurtimox 15 mg.kg-1 orally and blood samples were obtained for 10 h after administration.
